When the teams tie in regulation, under NHL rules they play a 5 minute overtime then if they are still tied, they participate in a shootout
The regulation time for a hockey game is 60 minutes of playing time, divided into 3 20-minute periods. If at the end of 60 minutes one team is ahead, the game is over and the winning team is awarded two points. However, if at the end of regulation (60 minutes), the score is tied, then teams play a five minute 4-on-4 overtime. If the game is not settled in overtime, then teams use a shootout to determine a winner. The 4-on-4 overtime and shootout do not apply in the playoffs, however, where unlimited 5-on-5 OT is used to determine a winner.
There are three (3) twenty (20) minute periods during regulation time. One (1) five (5) minute overtime period during the regular season, and an unlimited number of twenty (20) minute periods in playoff overtime.
In hockey, there can be no tie. If there is a tie after regulation time, they go to a 5 minute overtime, and if it is still tied they go to a shootout until there is a winner. That is the regular season rule. However in the playoffs, there is no shootout but rather overtime until the tie is broken.
The regulation time on the clock for a NHL hockey game is 60 minutes (3 periods). If the score is tied, overtime is 5 minutes. Then come a shootout which is first 3 rounds, then if still tied, goes until one team wins. There are timeouts and such in the hockey game, so never is it 1 hour of actual time.
